VPS8D, a CORVET subunit, is required to maintain the contractile vacuole complex in Tetrahymena thermophila

C.-Y. Cheng, J. Hernandez, A. Turkewitz

This paper shows that VPS8D, a CORVET subunit in Tetrahymena thermophila, is essential for maintaining the contractile vacuole complex (CVC) structure and function, as its knockdown leads to disassembly of CVC components and increased osmotic sensitivity.

Structure and dynamics of the contractile vacuole complex in Tetrahymena thermophila

C.-Y. Cheng, D. P. Romero, M. Zoltner, M.-C. Yao, A. Turkewitz

The paper identifies four proteins that localize to distinct zones of the contractile vacuole complex in Tetrahymena thermophila, enabling in vivo analysis of its dynamics and structure.

Diversification of CORVET tethers facilitates transport complexity in Tetrahymena thermophila

D. Sparvoli, M. Zoltner, M. Field, A. Turkewitz

The paper investigates the diversification of CORVET tethers in Tetrahymena thermophila, showing how multiple paralogs and distinct complexes enable transport complexity despite lacking HOPS and other trafficking genes.
